with an SSH2 stream, fseek with fgets will yield unpredictable results

[Pierre-Olivier Benoit]

When using fseek on an SSH2 stream, I will get unpredictable results.
The following sequence will fail :
- fopen text file on SSH2 stream
- fread 20 bytes
- fseek TO THE BEGINNING
- fgets /*should read first line but does not; instead reading half of Line 211 */

Removing the initial fread() will not cause the issue.
Also using fclose()/fopen() after the fread() will return the pointer to the beginning as well - but that is not a good workaround.

I was only able to reproduce it on 12.04.
The sample code ATTACHED will work properly on 14.04 or even 10.10.

You will need to edit the constants at the beginning of the file to match your SSH server username and password. Also you need to drop the test file on that server.
